Two burglars in Iowa disguised themselves by drawing on there faces when th black marker.!! SHOUT OUT TO IOWA!AND THE DUMB CRIMINALS THERE!😂😂😂 I recommend this book to all ages and I rate this book 5 / 5 stars! 😁 😁 - Pizzagirl7 😁 😁

when I saw this book I thought "There must be a lot of stupid criminals out there if there's a whole book about them" and I was right. There are bad guys that have gotten stuck or have gotten locked out of there car and actually called 911 for help! Once a man that broke into a house got hungry and fried up some fish - The owner of the house woke up and called the police! This was a funny read and I kept laughing at how crazy some of these people are/were! Recommended for 11+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
